Sinopsis

Ghost & Other Sonnets will disturb and delight. Working within the conventional form of the sonnet this sequence is on the surface one of Monk’s most accessible works but the simplicity is deceptive. Each poem shifts and veers into unexpected complexity. Words shimmy down the page to their unpredictable conclusion leaving the reader delighted, disconcerted and baffled. Monk brings together disparate strands of uncertainty in a fragile world and she does it with her usual tenderness, ferocity and humour.

An unearthly grown so sickly he

Died girlish young: translucence fixed in

Marble. In effigy without relief

Upon his death bed bound in medieval

Fug. Chapel-rot. The Ship of Fools sails

Upon the walls through none the wiser

Centuries receding. Spellbound with

Voyage she placed her palms upon his arms

Steadying her vertigo. Neck crane. Surge of

Flux. A tightening grasp of marble

Hand so slight the delicate light passed

Through its captive static: clasping hers in horror.

Sweetheart stoned in death. Please release her.

Let her go. Your tiny hand is frozen.
